🤜🤛Postdocs and graduate student workers are uniting for a brighter future! ✨ Judit (Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW) and Kayla (Sinai Student Workers-UAW) support both unions because Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai postdocs and grad student workers deserve better working conditions and wages!


Together, we’re a force to be reckoned with! 🤝💪 We’ve united with Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW to highlight some of the positive changes we’re fighting for Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai like protections for international researchers and improving work-life balance ⚖️ #ChangeMakers #Unity


🥂Out this week in Nature Neuroscience with Shira Lupkin🥂: Our study on how values are represented in populations of primate orbitofrontal neurons, and how these value signals are “read out” downstream to influence economic choices. Read it here ➡️ rdcu.be/dqpBZ

After more than a year of negotiations, our elected bargaining committee has called for an Unfair Labor Practices strike starting on December 6th to protest Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai's unlawful behavior.



In response to Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai's unlawful behavior and failure to reach a timely agreement, today we delivered a notice to the Sinai administration that we will start our #ULPstrike on December 6, 2023 at 9am. #FairContractNow #ShutItDown #14DaysToGo ✊ 📸 @peacemakerhuynh



The minimum postdoc salary Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is $58,661 and has not increased since Dec 31, 2018. In the 5 years since, inflation increased massively. Sinai continues to propose compensation levels that don't keep up with inflation. #StrikeReady #7DaysToGo ✊


Our strike Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai begins in 3 days! The picket line starts at 9 am, followed by our Kick-Off Rally at E 99th and Madison Ave at 10 am, featuring NYC elected and community allies. Please join us if you can! ✊


Come join us today @ 12pm or tomorrow @ 6pm to discuss our campaign’s progress and learn how we as student workers can support Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW during their upcoming strike. RSVP here: docs.google.com/forms/u/0/d/e/…


Day 1 ➡️ Day 2 ➡️ Day 3! Student workers are and will keep showing up for Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW until they get a fair contract!



Our schedule for Strike Week 2! 🌅From 9am-1pm we'll be engaging community allies and urging Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai leadership to bargain in good faith. 🌆Then, come out to the picket line 1pm-5pm for the afternoon picket shift.



For anyone like me who enjoys geeking out over behavioral tasks, our new paper is out! Also important implications for mechanisms of value-based decisions. With Aster Q. Perkins and Zach Gillis direct.mit.edu/jocn/article/d…


We're looking forward to our talks and posters this Sunday at SfN! #sfn2024 #sfn24 Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Aster Q. Perkins Carla Golden
